THE SCRIBE
Found on the margin of St. Gall, Ms. The Irish St. Gall, died 635 at the age of ninety-five, founded a monastery on Lake Constance, Switzerland.
A hedge of trees surrounds me:
A blackbird sings to me
Above my booklet, the lined one,
The thrilling birds sing to me
In a grey mantle, from the tops of the bushes,
The cuckoo chants to me
May the Lord protect me from Doom!
I write well under the greenwood.
